UNFORGETTABLE SARAWAK
Begin in Kuala Lumpur with a smooth arrival and free evening, then fly east to Borneo and sail the Sarawak River at sunset, watching Kuching’s waterfront glow as the city drifts by.
Meet wildlife and culture in one day: witness orangutan rehabilitation at Semenggoh, then visit a Bidayuh longhouse (Anah Rais) for village life, local flavors, and stories of Dayak heritage.
Explore Bako National Park by boat and trail—home to proboscis monkeys, silvered langurs, macaques, bearded pigs, monitor lizards, sea eagles and ever-changing coastal scenery.
Fly into the heart of Mulu National Park: walk the 3-km rainforest boardwalk to Deer & Lang Caves, then at dusk marvel at the exodus of millions of bats spiraling into the sky.
Cruise upriver to Wind Cave and climb to Clearwater Cave—lace-like stalactites, rare plants, and a natural swimming spot beneath giant trees for a refreshing dip and picnic.
Finish on the Mulu Canopy Skywalk—480 meters of suspended walkway among ferns, epiphytes and lianas, offering a rare, treetop perspective on Borneo’s living rainforest.
Morning brings the quiet strength of Borneo: an orangutan steps from the trees with the calm of an elder; a longhouse door opens and you’re welcomed not as a stranger, but as a guest. The coast smells of salt and leaves; wind lifts the mangroves like a curtain.
Deep underground, limestone breathes cool stories: caverns vast enough to hush a crowd, filigree rock that looks spun from moonlight. And then—at the edge of evening—the sky blossoms with a living spiral of bats, the forest exhaling to the stars. High in the canopy, you walk level with birds and epiphytes, the earth far below and your pulse completely, happily steady.
It’s a journey that trades hurry for wonder: the logistics are gentle, the path is clear, and every day finds a new way to make you quiet—then smiling.
